GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU Law Professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #8 *arrests*

[TTF14]

CourtTV discussing whether KM is so "tainted" to be unusable to the prosecution. Consensus agreement is she WOULD be of value if she testifies against CA in a way that can be corroborated.

IF she decides to flip she may be able to provide proof in the form of texts, emails, something.....

Another expensive trial for KM. JMO.

aka, The Adelsons.

 

[katiecoolady]

Does anyone know if the Markels have an attorney for a civil case against the Adelsons?

Except she probably deleted everything

Garcia is a dang fool!! He's still in love with her just like Rivera said! Does this man not get that this woman has completely ended his life? She played him!

They are represented by Orin Snyder, who is an extremely well-respected prestigious lawyer that normally works in a totally unrelated practice area (think high-level corporate work), but has been helping the family due to some personal relationship he had with them.

Wonder when the new trial will start? Do these things take months or years to be retried?

More likely weeks to a couple a months under these circumstances.

i've not read that they do. usually victims wait for the criminal trial to conclude before bringing a civil case. it makes the civil trial much easier for them to win.

I know nothing about WhatsApp so be gentle, but....if she gave someone her password or whatever to that app, can history be recovered?

As noted, the family has good counsel. A good civil trial lawyer will wait to see how criminal proceedings play out before going to war. ALL of this testimony is now evidence available in a civil action. Convictions are admissible in civil trials and if there is a chance of CA or DA being found guilty of a criminal offense it would make proceeding MUCH easier.

Good question. The longer the better. At least she'll still be in the slammer.

my guess is Q1 2020.

Unfortunately, no. WhatsApp does not hold ANY info on their servers so it is up to the sender/recipient to save any messages (printing or screen grabs).

I think there is a 2 year statute of limitations in Florida for a civil wrongful death case. 2 years run from the date of death. Time may have run out. JMO.

Commentators on CourtTV agreed it will likely be at least a year (especially if she gets new counsel who must get up to speed and prepare).

 

[GordonX]

a TV legal analyst current/former Judge said she sees no legal reason why the State can't decide to try the alleged masterminds right alongside KM for the retrial.

 

[Gypsy Road]

Ok so I’m really trying to understand the jury. They convicted SG on LR’s testimony and the bus and atm videos, right? Why didn’t they believe him about KM when there was SO MUCH MORE evidence (texts, finanaces, lies, phone calls through wire taps). I don’t get it.

Thank you. What's your take on Rivera being brought to the courthouse today?
